Unless I'm misreading it, the paperwork lodged at CH is Burnley taking out a loan and using the future installments in the Pope transfer as collateral - basically "You know we can pay this loan off because we're getting these payments over the next three years".

 

Seems to me that if they'd got the £10m up-front they'd have been better off. 

 

They did the same with the installments due on Chris Wood's transfer fee.

If we’re looking at someone to play across the front line and wide we could do worse than looking at Martin Terrier of Rennes. 

 

Does he snap at defenders heels?

He’s a very dogged player with a bit of a bark about him up front, seems he has some pedigree about him too. Mind, he could turn out a chum in our league!

Would prefer Kasper Dolberg from Nice. Would be good to have a Great Dane up front.

Was thinking about him as a candidate yesterday. Remember he had a scary moment on the field a year ago or something.

[emoji38] It's incredibly unlikely that we sign Paqueta. Although those who keep suggesting it clearly arent listening to reason.

 

We aren't spending 40m on a CM this window when we are refusing to spend that on a striker.

Well one would be straight into the starting XI, the other quite possibly wouldn't.

It really is mental.

I cannot see how it's mental at all.

 

We play a 4-3-3 with 1 centre forward, and as we've seen in recent years teams don't always need a goalscoring number 9, especially if they can play with inside forwards. The fact Howe mentioned Maxi as being able to play there suggests he wouldn't be against doing the same.

I agree regarding Paqueta, but I think if say Isak became available for £40 million (he won't) we'd pay it. It's all about their valuation of the player. It's why we paid circa £40 million for Bruno, but we wouldn't for Botman or Carlos.

Yeah but read between the lines, does it really look like we're going to spend that sort of money on one player this window? Unlikely.

Possibly not but the club aren't revealing much. It's hard to know how much is legit, other than that we obviously aren't letting clubs take the piss.

They've just paid £32 million for Botman, I don't think it's out of the question.

 

It's far safer to go off the clubs previous actions, rather than the words of journalists.

I feel like if we wanted him so badly we'd have made some kind of move by now.

And it seems they had basically agreed to pay a similar amount for Ekitike as well, in the only other potential transfer that looks like it was a solid link.

We were throwing out 30-40m bids on center backs in Jan. We were throwing out similar value bids for other players that didn’t materialize then and this summer.
 

the lol’s and smug comments and the ha ha’s are so strange and unnecessary.
